Hamilton in T4, take two

[saigh_allaidh]

Seems that McG is saying he's courting Linda Hamilton but only for her voice. He apparently wants her to do voice overs, in the manner of the tapes she was doing at the end of Terminator and the voice overs in Terminator 2. Also not a done deal, however, so we'll see. If she does it, it might get me to to rent the DVD. Not liking anything else I'm

Just wanted end of T3 last night (it was on TV) and I realized why I didn't like it as much - no LINDA!!!

[saigh_allaidh]

And there was no character that matched her....nor was the writing or directing any good. It's a bad but well financed fanfic. Much like the series. ~;P

Well, I think it's cool that she might be in it somehow, and at the same time... I wish she would actually be in T4 (not just her voice)... and I wonder how much that has to do with the Hollywood cult of youth... and, no, I wouldn't expect her body to look the same, at the same time, how often do you see an older woman warrior characters... let's see: never.

Supposedly there's a plan for a Kill Bill Volume 3 where Nikki (daughter of one of the Bride's revenge victims) has grown up and takes revenge on her mother's death.... I really hope that Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman actually do that... when Uma is "old"... I think it would be so cool. I would love to see that character older, and wiser... etc.

Yeah, like I note below, she could have faked her death, they could have worked this in. I mean Ripley died in the Alien franchise's not up to par third movie, they found a way around it. Cloning might not be possible given the time frame and destruction of the world and all, but seriously, we don't have proof that she's dead in the third one.

And Hamilton is still fit, if not as cut as she was for the movie. From what I've read, while she talked a lot about never wanting to work out again right after, she later found herself rather addicted. And, you know, sleeves can help. And no, you don't see older female warriors. It sucks.

I would also love to see a Kill Bill Vol. 3 and had seen the potential for Nikki to enter the revenge cycle. And maybe, if Tarantino and Thurman carried it on, and ONLY if they did, they can break what I have seen as a bad tendency for the third movies involving any good female warrior character really taking the franchise down. That could be awesome.

I think it would be awesome if Linda was actually *in* the movie, but since they killed her off in T3 - who knows how that would work out. I'd love her to do the voice-overs - I'll take any Linda I can get!

Well, there could have been two possible options. One, of course, is the flashback which had been rumored at one time, but apparently was totally false. The other is that they really could have had Sarah fake her death...I mean there was a gun cache in the grave so.....

I'm just chiming in with my usual T4/TS/Sarah/Linda related stuff.

I don't know if any of you paid attention to Christian Bale's big media kerfluffle this week, but he did a radio interview this morning where he (along with lots of other stuff) said he was basing much of his John character on T2's Sarah when she was in the asylum. That "crazy in the blood" or somesuch. Which, I kind of liked. Big male action hero basing his character on his badass mother.

(Oh, he does technically get it wrong, saying she's in the asylum because she's crazy, but I think the point is that she's there because she can no longer hide her rage (against the machine.. heh))

[saigh_allaidh]

Yes, I agree, she's not crazy, but her claims seem crazy and the frustration and rage from not being believe, from knowing this is something that could be stopped but no one is listening, of course makes her seem even more crazy.

[miniglik]

I get what the point was about the crrrraaaazy though. She'd been driven a little mad by not being able to carry out her mission of protecting her son and ending the war

[saigh_allaidh]

Yes, Moon Bloodgood, who I did really like in the short lived Journeyman. She's made me hopeful, but I had been getting the impression she and other women in the movie are pretty marginal. Probably didn't get as buff as Hamilton, but she wasn't super skinny in a TV season of the super skinny and jackets help. She can play fierce well.

Yeah, wonder how many of those fanboys could fire a .50 at all without wetting their pants. *snerk*

You know, you could share this stuff with the whole class if you joined. ~;)
